Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 4, 2018, Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing it had reached an agreement on October 3, 2018 between the Company, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the Danish Tax Authority ("SKAT") with respect to income tax assessments from SKAT for the tax years 2001 to 2011. The agreement represents a resolution of a dispute between the Company and SKAT relating to the royalty paid by a U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a Danish subsidiary. The settlement will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or liquidity as the Company has previously put amounts on deposit with SKAT for this matter.
For a complete discussion of this matter, please refer to Note 13 in the Company’s “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” under ITEM 8 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and subsequent periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
